In doing this, we be; lieve we have a good policy; one of protecting our readers by urging them to trade in Decatur, where we know the merchant will still bo in business tomorrow and the next day and the next year.

The only woman candidate on either ticket for a city office, Mrs. Hall already has started the task of calling on the voters for support. She has been warmly received in every part of the city and if successful in the November election, she will make an outstanding public official.

vnAriLn iwawu-rov THE DAY after the storm, because it was, after all, the week before Easter, the sun came out brightly, the sandlike snow blew off the streets and roads and evaporated dryly from the lawns and bushes. White still streaked the mountains, and skiing was fine. l When Adam eame home from the Project the next evening he put a box upon Ann's lap. She opened it curiously, looking up at him in question. •1 wish you’d (ry to tike the things out hero,” he explained. The box contained a fine Chimaya coat, thick, white, with a medallion in turquoise and terracotta and black in the center of its swinging back. It was a beautiful coat, and expensive Ann had priced one of its sort at Maisel'a *1 don’t think you should, Adam,” she said, going to try it on. "Maybe I shouldn’t,” he said dryly. “But I did.” The gift puzzled Ann. ft was almost as U Adam guessed the way she had Celt during the storm. She wore the coat, but she couldn’t get rid of her uneasy feeling of numb resentment. The habit had become too fixed. Adam could help her change her feeling. But, somehow giving her an expensive present was not the way. She had not been out to the new i house tor some little time, and now ate found henett unwilling to go < at all Someone—a woman at the church—praised the house and I mentioned the many clever things about it, asked who the architect i was. She’d love to have a bouse i just like it! Ann was so lucky! I Ann made some sort of reply; i she didn’t actually say that the 1 house was not hers, even though 1 9he might some day live in it. Yet i in her heart she knew that the 1 features the woman admired and , mentioned were Pinky’s ideas, I mostly. 1 Red flared hotly into Ann’s s Cheeks. There was one thing mre! i Adam might not need or use an architect, but his women—he used them! 1 Though by this time Ann disliked Pinky, she continued to eee t something ofter.

SCHOOL REPORTER (COXTLXI ED FROM CAGE t-A> Tuberculosis patch tests were administered to first, seventh, and ninth graders this year as part of the school’s health program. A clear patch means that there are no signs of tuberculosis, while a positive test indicates that the disease has been present at some time. This is not a sure sign of the active disease, howvver. A check by the family doctor is the best way to make sure of the symptoms. —a. c. b. *. — DECATUR HIGH By Dee Dee Striker Football season is underway, with a fine team of boys. Emily Swearingen, Susie Heller, ißosie Conrad, and Barb Suttles are the cheerleaders for this football season. They look very neat in their short purple skirts oad white sweaters. They also do’a tine job of leading the cheering section in support of the Jackets. Everyone shows much spirit and enthusiasm, and it is hoped it will last, win or lose, throughout the entire school year. — d. h. s. — The band seems to be keeping

would oe away to get me matter between herself and Ann’s husband out in the open With this tn mind, she opened the door of the painted chest, and drew out the Fiesta dress. Ann bad said one o’clock. It was fifteen minutes after the hour when Pinky came into the dining room. She looked ravishing. The blue dress fitted her like a glove, her bare shoulders gleamed pale gold, her incredible hair flamed. A group of men at one of the big round tables rose in a body and bowed to her. Pinky smiled at them, winked, and went on across the room to where Ann sat on the banquette. Ann pushed the tiletopped table away enough for Pinky to get in behind it. Pinky was still laughing. “Boys will be boys,” she said gaily. "Have you ordered?” "No, of course not. D’you want a drink?” ”1 guess not, if you don’t" She eyed Ann’s dress. It was of printed silk, white on brown. Ann’s hair was longer, and today she wore no hat She looked pretty good. Pinky commented. "Your dress is beautiful” Ann returned the compliment i"Maybe it’s the same blue one Adam tried to make me get last fall.” “Oh?" said Pinky, digging into her shrimp cocktail. “I won't pay their prices, for a cotton dress.” “They are terrific—but then all these ruffles mean work." ”1 know.” Ann's attention was on a woman who had just come into the dining room. Thin, tall, her hair was dramatically silver, and it hung to the shoulders of her fringed leather jacket. She wore tailored frontier pants, soft cus-tom-made boots; she was suntanned browner than the jacket. A Stetson hat hung by a thong between her shoulders. Boldly she looked the room over, boldly she smiled at one of the men at the round tabic. “Hello,” she said throatily. “Marlene herself," drawled Pinky. "And quite good at it, too.” , The woman was good. By the time their entree was brought ; “Marlene herself" had been Joined i by the man she had selected, and the two were seated at a small i table in the far corner. , “Nice work!” said Pinky admir- , togiy. Ann turned her shocked face. , “The woman's a tramp!” , “Oh, sure.” Pinky lifted the lid < of the little red casserole. “But who wants to be a lady?” Ann thought that every woman did, and she said so emphatically. Pinky laughed. “The line’s all 1 right,” she said indifferently, “if it gets a gal what she wants. But < you’U have to admit, darling, that

They marche’d in a parade ( at the Bluffton fair last week and • were to present a program in the , evening, but were rained out. Saturday, they left bright and early for Purdue University where they marched with other bands. Their new uniforms look very neat and they make some fine music. — d. h. s. — If you think you’re seeing double, you are! It's Jean and Jane Wass, identical twins., who are freshmen in high school. They > are marching and twirling in front of the band, in their new uniforms and flashy hats, doing a swell job. The twins’ sister, Shirley, and Marlene Thieme, take turns being , drum majorette and they are also sporting new hats and doing an i equally fine job. i — d. h. s. — The journalism class took a field ' trip to Fort Wayne last Friday, ! leaving after the first period. A class on the operation of a mimeograph machine was attended and i instructions on the different phas- j es of putting out a school paper were presented. The entire jour- ( nalism class, consisting of Leah Brandyberry, Janey Smith, Joyce Callow, Myra Black, Dee Dee Striker, Mike Beery, Phil Deßolt,

iL's never mucn run," Ann sat thinking. “By fun,” she said analytically, “you mean men.” (Pinky lifted a smiling face. "What else?” "But that's the point,” said Ann earnestly. “Men want their women to be —I don’t mean tramps or pick-ups—” her smooth brown head indicated the silver-haired girl in the corner, "but their particular women, their wives, sweethearts —they want them to be ladies.” Pinky sat back, turned about on the bench so that she could look at the girl beside her. “Men want fun, too,” she said flatly. Then a spark snapped tn her eyes. "Os course,” she conceded, “if you ask the brute, why, he’ll say, 'Certain- ; ly 1 want my wife to be a lady. To look like one in a white nat and white gloves, and to act like one.’ But if he’s given any choice,” i she laughed gaily, “he'U amuse himseli with a plunging neckline,4 or frills.” Ann sat very still. Not indignant, not angry—Just very thoughtful Was that why Adam . . .? Didn't he want her to wear a white hat? Pinky was right-about one thing, Ann knew. Should she ask Adam, he'd say, yes, he wanted a lady. But did he ? She’d looked nice in that hat She’d almost worn it today. Did the hat symbolize the fault Adam seemed to find with his wife, late- i ly? Did he want her to be —more fun? To show more ease with people? Not boldness. But ease. Ann herselt wished that she made friends more easily. Adam never had difficulty. No one was a stranger to Adam Laird But Ann was shy— and there was the idea Os being ladylike—it had been a handicap since coining to New Mexico. Well, she could try being “easy.” She was too preoccupied with these thoughts and this resolution to realize fully the personal appli- I cation ot Pinky's remark. They finished their lunch, Ann paid the check. The waitress returned ner change, and she gave Ann the red geraniums from the vase on their table. Ann was carrying these In her hand as she passed the round table where the group of men still lingered. “Isn’t she pretty!” one of them commented quietly, but his deep voice carried clearly to Pinky’s ears. •?, ‘ '• Pinky tossed her head. “I like women who can wear brown,” the voice continued. “J always think . . Pinky’s long stride carried her angrily out of carshot. (To Be Continued) ■ •
